Eaton N48M47B55EE Transformer - UL Listed, NEMA TP-1
Part Number: N48M47B55EE
Quick Summary
The Eaton N48M47B55EE Transformer delivers K-Factor nonlinear power conditioning for large three-phase electrical distributions. Facilities often struggle with harmonic distortion, voltage swings, and transformer overheating from compact, undersized solutions. UL Listed and NEMA TP-1 compliant, with NEMA TP-1 efficient notes, help ensure regulatory and efficiency targets. Designed for 480 V primary and 480Y/277 V secondary, it supports 60 Hz operation with 500 kVA capacity—streamlining installation and reducing total cost of ownership in industrial power distribution. This reduces downtime and extends transformer life in continuous operation environments. Plus, its 2 at +2.5% and 4 at -2.5% taps provide voltage flexibility to ride through mains fluctuations without sacrificing reliability.

Eaton Specification Sheet - N48M47B55EE
K-Factor nonlinear design with electrostatically shielded construction reduces harmonic currents and minimizes stray voltage coupling. The business impact is improved power quality, lower transformer heating, and extended equipment life, which translates to fewer maintenance cycles in high-load manufacturing lines. This makes the N48M47B55EE well-suited for drives, presses, and mixed loads that create harmonic richness in industrial power distribution. Voltage flexibility and capacity: With a 500 kVA rating, 480 V primary, and 480Y/277 V secondary, this transformer supports critical loads from motors to lighting with tight regulation. The ±2.5% taps provide on-site voltage adjustment to compensate for panel drops, reducing voltage-related faults and unnecessary capacitor bank usage. In practice, this means fewer outages and improved uptime for heavy machinery. Cooling and construction: Aluminum coil and ventilated KT-13 design deliver robust thermal performance with an 80°C rise. The ventilated design reduces hotspot risk under peak loads, enabling longer service intervals and compliant operation in warm environments. The choice of aluminum supports lighter weight and easier handling during installation and retrofits. Compliance and service: UL Listed and NEMA TP-1 compliant, with NEMA TP-1 efficient catalog notes, provide regulatory assurance and energy savings. The product carries a one-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment) and Eaton's support network helps with field services and parts. Electrostatic shielding adds an extra layer of protection against EMI in sensitive facilities. Installation and integration: Designed for straightforward integration with standard distribution equipment and 480 V panels, with common 500 kVA footprint expectations and compatible with Eaton's Transformer Flex Center resources. The result is faster commissioning, reduced spare parts inventory, and a lower total cost of ownership for industrial facilities.

FAQs
Begin with verifying panel rating and clearance per NEMA TP-1 guidelines. Mount the transformer on a stable base, connect the 480 V primary to the supply bus, and wire the 480Y/277 V secondary to the distribution panel. Use the +2.5% and -2.5% taps as needed for voltage regulation, and ensure the unit is properly grounded. Confirm UL Listed credentials during commissioning and record the 80 °C rise rating for thermal management.
K-Factor nonlinear transformers are designed to better handle harmonic currents produced by modern nonlinear loads like drives and VFDs. This reduces harmonic distortion on the supply, lowers overheating risk, and improves overall power quality. For facilities with high motor loads, presses, or mixed-electronics, this translates to longer equipment life and fewer nuisance outages.
Yes. With 500 kVA capacity, 480 V primary, and 480Y/277 V secondary, it supports critical loads typical of data centers and manufacturing lines. Its harmonic mitigation and voltage regulation help maintain stable power, while the ± taps enable fine-tuning to counteract voltage drop across long feeders, contributing to higher uptime and reduced risk of equipment damage.
The N48M47B55EE is UL Listed and NEMA TP-1 compliant, with catalog notes indicating TP-1 efficiency. These certifications ensure regulatory alignment, energy efficiency expectations, and safe operation within industrial distribution environments. For sensitive facilities, the electrostatic shielding adds an EMI protection layer, further supporting compliance and performance standards.
ROI is driven by improved energy efficiency from NEMA TP-1 efficiencies, reduced harmonic losses, and lower downtime due to stable voltage and better protection against overloads. Maintenance needs are minimized by robust thermal design (80 °C rise) and long service intervals, supported by Eaton’s warranty and service network, which helps control total cost of ownership over the transformer's life cycle.
